Posted July 10, 2012

Our children were in the Montessori at Riverton which was outstanding, but the financial crisis hit in 2008 and we were transferred to Foothills and Silvercrest. We felt like we stepped into the middle of the Lord of the Flies. The attitude of my children quickly changed; my high-performing son developed behavior problems, they came home with obscene amounts of homework they were clueless about, became stressed and resentful of school. To top off this subpar education, the food they make available is horribly processed. It's like their intentional goal is obese, lathargic kids. The teachers were simply outnumbered and outmatched by the sheer number of children. Far from competitive schools, they are apathetic failure factories. It is frustrating that children have to win a lottery to get into a sensible school, but Providence Hall provides a far more competitive education. The school quickly won my children back over to education, offered healthy, edible food, had small classes with plenty of adults and a proven education system. The teachers are clearly happier, and all for the same cost as any other school which begs the question: Why aren't all Utah schools this good?

I just moved to Utah from another state. My children were accepted from the wait list at PH. I absolutely love the school. They really care about my kids. Both the elementary principal and the Jr High Principal are great.

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Utah used the Utah Criterion-Referenced Test (CRT) to test students in grades 1 through 11 in language arts, in grades 1 through 7 in math, in grades 4 through 9 in science and upon completion of certain courses in grades 8 through 11. The results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for all grades combined for each subject. The CRT is a standards-based testing program, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Utah. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.

More from this school
  • Providence Hall is a candidate school for the Primary Years Program. This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that Providence Hall believes is important for our students. What is IB? IB stands for International Baccalaureate. The IBO has provided an internationally recognized and respected philosophy or method of teaching and learning. This philosophy calls for a school and/or teacher to provide educational experiences to the students that will help to create internationally minded individuals who seek to create a better more peaceful world. An IB oriented school facilitates this atmosphere by fostering the following attributes in our students: inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced and reflective. IB is inquiry-based, meaning that students practice critical thinking skills which encourage them to question, think outside of the box and become excellent problem solvers. The philosophy behind the IB teaching methodology and its incredibly high standards make the International Baccalaureate program a perfect match for Providence Hall. The International Baccalaureate Primary Years philosophy (Grades K-6) embraces a Trans- disciplinary teaching model that unites the traditional curriculum subjects together in a significant and practical way. Its Trans-disciplinary program of international education is designed to foster the development of the whole child.
